Solantic Founder Launches Anti-Obama Campaign

Solantic founder and prior hospital executive Rick Scott is not being shy about his position on health care. Scott has launched an all out assault on President Obama’s government based plan for health insurance and is championing a free market for America. Scott addressed a crowd of over a thousand at the Jacksonville Landing asking attendees if they had voted for socialized medicine, receiving a resounding no in response from the crowd. Scott founded and operates several Solantic urgent care facilties in Jacksonville, FL and considers them almost an experiment in favor of free market health care. The practices have been widely successful, despite claims that he had engaged in Medicare fraud previously and was forced to resign as CEO of Columbia Healthcare in 1997. Although never charged with a crime, he was forced to pay back over $1 million. Do you think having Scott campaign for a free market will help its cause, or hurt it?
